Nauvoo

We went to Nauvoo this last weekend. We met up with my parents and sisters and had lots of fun, and stayed overnight together. It was wicked hot, though, so it put a little bit of a damper on ambitious plans, but we still got to enjoy some things. David and I each got to do a session at the Temple (though not together), our first since getting married there! Growing up near-by with visits most summers, and of course being married there, I will always have a special place for Nauvoo in my heart. We love it there! We'll get to go again in about a month when my sister Katie gets married there.

Concentrating on making rope, just like the pioneers.

Down on the Mississippi River bank.

Getting ready to go on a carriage ride.

Emma did amazingly well on the carriage, and spent almost the whole thing with Grandma and Grandpa.
